swamp boubou

Birds of Namibia

Introduction: Swamp boubous (Laniarius
bicolor) are restricted to waterways such as major river floodplains with
tall reedbeds, water figs, papyrus and other dense riverine vegetation found in
the region. Ornithologists can observe them perching in the open for short
periods or leaping between branches, turning their heads in search of prey.

Distribution: Northern
Namibia only. Epupa Falls and from Rundu extending east through the Caprivi
Strip to Victoria Falls. Common in Chobe/Zambezi River systems, the Okavango
Delta and Moremi Game Reserve.

Diet: Gleans prey from tree
trunks, reeds, papyrus, branches and forages on the ground for mainly insects
and small fruits.

A four room private camp set inside the Nkasa Rupara National Park. A remote and private location in Namibia's least visited hidden gems of a game park makes this a must visit lodge. The lodge can also be booked for exclusive use on a self catering basis

Located on the banks of the Kwando river in the heart of the Mashi Conservancy, within Bwabwata National Park. This is a sanctuary for more than 35 game species and upwards of 330 bird species. Animals move freely throughout the area which creates a mecca for wildlife viewing

A wonderful lodge in an extremely remote location, this is a must for anyone wanting to get of the beaten track and experience Namibia at her best. Offers game viewing in the Nkasa Rupara (formerly Mamili) National Park and boat trips on the Linyanti River.
